For those interested in the credits and such, it would seem that Brisco and
X-Files are tied by more than just night and fan base.

Does anyone know if Brisco will make it for a second season?

It is a really good show with a lot of humor and excitement; I
hope it makes it. However, next week, Fox will not show it. I
hope this isn't a sign of things to come.

I've been trying to get into BCJr lately since I am a great fan of the Evil
Dead movies and I like that actor that plays the Evil Dead hero/ Brisco.
(Sorry, I am terrible with names) But I have one question. Is BCJr supposed
to be set in the old west? If so, why do they continually make 90's
references? If it's just for the humor then that's fine, but all this
supernatural stuff I saw on BCJr (something about an orb?) sort of conflicts
with the old west setting, IMHO.

Does anyone know where I can ftp some Brisco Cty graphics from.
I know, this is getting farther and farther from X-Files. Then again,
considering the orb, maybe not!

Let me say this one more time. MAY 24th will be the final word from FOX
NETWORK. That is when, after all the May sweeps are over, FOX will
announce whether or not BRISCO will get RENEWED or NOT. UNtil this time,
we all have to sit and wait patiently for that answer to come.

No, they just delayed it so that the last two parter season finale will
hit it big in the midst of May Sweeps.

The name is BRUCE CAMPBELL. Remember that name! :)

Set in the 1890's, they make lots of modern day reference jokes/puns
because that is what we modern day people understand. What would you
prefer, some 1890 pun/joke that would probably go over everyone's head
and make Brisco go even more down in the ratings? Puh-leeze!

>supernatural stuff I saw on BCJr (something about an orb?) sort of conflicts

The orb stuff did contrast to the typical western stuff and that is what
attracted many viewers because that is one thing that is very strange and
makes us all curious as to what it is. But it belonged or Brisco will
just end up as another typical old goofy western (which it is heading to,
unless they can add one more cool subplot and another big main central
plot twist).

Thanks for posting this. I've been watching both of these shows from the
beginning, taping them even, and this is the first time I realized they
had so much in common. Very interesting.

On another note... what's the deal with Pete? He didn't _really_ die in
"And Baby Makes 3", did he? :-(

it's being pre-empted by a ufo conspiracy show next week (kind of a cool
thing to have on before the x-files - hope mulder's watching!).
after that, a two parter on the 13th and 20th airs. i believe those are the
final episodes. i'm with you. i love brisco but i've got a bad feeling
the execs at fox are going to pull something with it (as in take it off the
air). but then again, maybe i'm a fatalist.

check out the june starlog where they have an interview with christian
clemenson who plays socrates poole. he addresses the issue of the sci-fi
elements pretty well. apparently, that whole orb thing is about as
sci-fi as it's going to get. clemenson says the show is going more for the
maverick or wild wild west kind of thing. Oh, his name's bruce
campbell (brisco that is).

i'm a fan too! watched all three in a row last night as i was studying for a
final. (should be interesting to see what the instructor says, taking into
account what i was watching and that it was a philosophy final)

another question, there are alot of things about brisco on here, is there a
group i just can't get on my newsgroup that is devoted to brisco?

He's gotten killed before, but it never takes. He recovers well. Outside of
Bly, Pete is my favorite character.
